Portret van Elizabeth Frolike 1810

Hendrik Schwegman's 1810 portrait of Elizabeth Frolike is a delicate yet impactful example of Neoclassical portraiture. Executed in graphite, the artwork showcases Frolike in an oval frame, emphasizing the sitter's features and her simple yet elegant attire. Schwegman's meticulous detail captures the sitter's age and the subtle wrinkles on her face, adding a touch of realism to the composition. The artwork is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection and provides a glimpse into the artistic practices of the early 19th century.
